STYLE Calling all minimalists: Lifestyle boutique Design Life Kids (designlifekids.com) now carries Denmark-based Kristina Dam Studio’s furniture collection—with brand-new pieces released throughout 2023. “Modern minimalist design shows true restraint, while allowing every piece to not only stand on its own but to also complement any design aesthetic it’s matched with,” says CEO Kim Wardell. “The careful curves, impeccable clean lines and beautiful textures of each design are a piece of art, a sculpture in your home or office, while also creating a perfect canvas for any accessories.” While jumping into a new year home refresh, shop the collection’s sleek steel lounge benches, solid oak matte-finished stools and bedside tables.
DEVOUR Savory Gouda grilled cheeses paired with flavorful rhubarb nectarine fruit wines and shopping? Say no more. Philly’s newest all-day cafe and lifestyle hub, Forîn (forincafe.com), opens in January, building off the original Forîn Cafe in Norris Square. “We intentionally opened our original location in a DIY fashion, giving us the ability to build community, support local small business, see what works and hire a core team,” says partner Seth Kligerman. “The lifestyle, multipronged concept has worked well for us, and we feel it is time to pursue the next iteration of Forîn.” Featuring housemade wines, craft cocktails and tasty bites, come hungry for sandwiches, baked goods and housemade pasta. Plus, visitors can shop clothing and goods from local and international artisans and companies, including Forîn’s own honey wine.
